Health

The level of every nutrient in almost every kind of food has fallen between 10 and 100 percent..

100%?! 90%?! 50?! What nutrients are we talking about? My first thought is...source, please. Secondly, has said research been peer reviewed and replicated? If not, then we have the left wing version of spouting bullshit. Synonymous with anti-vaccers and a whole host of other crockery. Truth is a slippery thing, and sometimes the left has as tenuous a grip on it as the right.

But, to some of the authors points, desolate sol is a dangerous, limiting factor in feeding a growing global population. The fact that for all practical purposes we eat oil, as commercial ag, be it conventional or organic, is addicted to petroleum and cannot function without it. Soil health reduces the need for petroleum based inputs in commercial ag. The destruction of the natural environment with increased cultivation to feed so many people. These are real issues. Don't cloud them with foolish beliefs uncoupled from reality.

I will say that homegrown maters taste far better than commercial, but that's more cultivar than source. Cherokee purple would never survive the trip to your local grocery and if they did, you better buy them quick before they spoil.
